AMC announced at SXSW today that its new drama series, Preacher, starring Dominic Cooper, will premiere its 10-episode 1st season on May 22, following the mid-season finale of Fear the Walking Dead.

The show is based on the comic book series of the same name, and is developed for TV and executive-produced by Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad), as well as the comic duo of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Synopsis: Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a conflicted preacher in a small Texas town, is inhabited
by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly
unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish
vampire named Cassidy (Joe Gilgun) embark on a journey to literally find God.
